New Artists & Works brings together recent additions to Twenty First alongside new and significant pieces by the gallery’s long-standing artists. Spanning sculptural furniture, lighting, and wall-based works, the exhibition highlights rigorous material investigation and the translation of process into form.

Throughout the gallery, works emerge through hand-weaving, casting, chiseling, and patination—revealing surfaces that are built, carved, and finished with precision. Wool is woven into painterly compositions, bronze is cast and patinated into textured or polished forms, aluminum and copper are shaped and enameled, and oak is hand-chiseled and burned.

These material processes create a tactile dialogue between density and delicacy, control and variation. Each piece operates as both functional object and sculptural presence, with an emphasis on singularity and material integrity.

Organic silhouettes and architectural structures intersect across the presentation, from contoured seating and monolithic benches to intricately constructed cabinetry and luminous wall pieces. These works resist standard typologies, proposing new relationships between use, form, and surface.

The exhibition introduces Clotilde Ancarani, Géraldine Cornette de Saint Cyr, Kaspar Hamacher, and J McDonald, whose practices bring distinct material approaches and formal clarity to the program. They are presented alongside Jean-Marie Fiori, Alice Gavlet, Alexandra Mocanu, Emmée Parizot, Marcin Rusak, and Rowin’Atelier, whose evolving work continues to shape the gallery’s vision for contemporary collectible design.
